A Call To Be A Mad Man-IN A World Gone Mad

Note: I sent this word I was given to many people, Bible college students, board, friends I now post it today a solid word.

2Ki
9:11 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said
unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he
said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.

In
this word I will start with what several commentaries wrote on this
verse.

Gill:

wherefore
came this mad fellow to thee? so profane men, especially the
worshippers of Baal, as those captains might be, were
wont to call the prophets of the Lord, because of their habit, their
manner of living, and the gestures they sometimes used in
prophesying, and especially because of the things they prophesied of;
and even prophets were sometimes called so, because, in the time of
their prophesying, they appeared as madmen (m), and in a frenzy:

Clarke:

2
Kings 9:11

Wherefore
came this mad fellow to thee? - Was it because he was a holy man of
God that he was reputed by a club of irreligious officers to be a
madman? In vain do such pretend that they fight
for religion, and are the guardians of the public welfare and morals,
if they persecute religion and scoff at holy men. But this has been
an old custom with all the seed, the sons, of the serpent.

As
to religious soldiers, they are far to seek, and ill to find,
according to the old proverb.

JFB:

2
Kings 9:11

Is
all well? etc. — Jehu’s attendants knew
that the stranger belonged to the order of the prophets by his garb,
gestures, and form of address; and soldiers such as they very readily
concluded such persons to be crackbrained, not only from the
sordid negligence of their personal appearance and their open
contempt of the world, but from the religious pursuits in which their
whole lives were spent, and the grotesque actions which they
frequently performed (compare Jer_29:26).

Matthew
Henry;

2
Kings 9:11-15

Jehu,
after some pause, returned to his place at the board, taking no
notice of what had passed, but, as it should seem, designing, for the
present, to keep it to himself, if they had not urged him to disclose
it. Let us therefore see what passed between him and the captains.

I.
With what contempt the captains speak of the young prophet
(2Ki_9:11): “Wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? What business
had he with thee? And why wouldst thou humour him so far as to retire
for conversation with him? Are prophets company for captains?”
They are called him a mad fellow, because he was one of those that
would not run with them to an excess of riot (1Pe_4:4), but lived a
life of self-denial, mortification, and contempt of the world, and
spent their time in devotion; for these things they thought the
prophets were fools and the spiritual men were mad, Hos_9:7.

Note,
Those that have no religion commonly speak with disdain of those that
are religious, and look upon them as mad. They said of our Saviour,
He is beside himself, of John Baptist, He has a devil (is a poor
melancholy man), of St. Paul, Much learning has made him mad.

The
highest wisdom is thus represented as folly, and those that best
understand themselves are looked upon as beside themselves. Perhaps
Jehu intended it for a rebuke to his friends when he said, “You
know the man to be a prophet, why then do you call him a mad fellow?
You know the way of his communication to be not from madness, but
inspiration.” Or, “Being a prophet, you may guess what his
business is, to tell me of my faults, and to teach me my duty;
I need not inform you concerning it.

Coke:

2
Kings 9:11

2Ki_9:11.
Wherefore came this mad fellow to thee?— See Num_11:25. The
officers who were in company with Jehu might easily perceive, by the
air, habit, and manner of speech of the person who accosted Jehu so
boldly, and when he had done his business vanished so suddenly, that
he was a prophet; but then there might be several reasons which might
induce men of their profession to have a contemptible opinion of men
of that order.

The
rigid and obscure course of life which the prophets led, and their
neglect of the things of this world, might pass with them for a kind
of infatuation, and the holy exercises to which they devoted
themselves, for no more than a religious phrenzy;

Note;
(1.) It is not the last time that God's zealous servants have been
called madmen. Thus Paul was branded, and even the blessed Jesus; let
none of his followers therefore marvel, if a carnal world still judge
thus of them. (2.) If worldly men expect from
God's prophets reproof and religious conversation, let them not be
disappointed by an endeavour to secure their regard at the expense of
silence, or any sinful compliance.

Geneva
Bible Notes:

The
world always holds the ministers of God is this estimation and has
always slandered the children of God (they called the Son of God a
deceiver, and said he had the devil) therefore they should not be
discouraged.

The
Hebrew word for Mad in this verse means-

Strongs;

H7696

שָׁגַע

shâga‛

shaw-gah'

A
primitive root; to rave through insanity: - (be, play the) mad (man).

The
Hebrew word, and commentaries all agree and tell us in different
words the image the ancient's thought of the Prophets, in the O.T. in
the N.T. We read-John the Baptist, Jesus, Paul, they were considered
mad men because they preached with zeal, power and bold truth, they
were looked at as fanatics, are you a fanatic for Jesus?

The
day of reckoning is at hand, our lord will come and avenge the blood
of his saints and the Prophets, as we read in Revelations, this is a
foreshadow of the second coming of Jesus as he takes out evil with
the sword of his mouth, his word, yes His word still cuts like a
knife, and the un -holy will be separated forever from the Holiness
of the lord, the redeemed of the saints, by the blood of the
lamb-King, at this time will be vindicated, not before.

Rev
6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the
souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the
testimony which they held:

Rev
6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord,
holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that
dwell on the earth?

Rev
6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was
said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until
their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed
as they were, should be fulfilled.

This
avenging will not happen until the second coming, until that time, we
take up our cross and follow the lord . Let us proclaim boldly the
Gospel truth, let us all be called mad men and women. We are
foreigners, we are pilgrims, this is not our home.

So,
beloved what will you do, compromise, or be looked at as one that is
of the devil, a false witness, a trouble maker, not politically
correct, a fanatic, an enemy of the state, people who turn the world
upside down, while the world is being turned upside down, but in
judgment.

Let
the watchmen and women not give in, or give up in these evil days,
but let us make our stand on holy ground. Jesus is lord, he is the
ONLY way to Jehovah God, and the Only way to heaven, what a radical
truth. May the mad men speak with passion and compassion, but humbly
bold, baptized with Fire, with a deep passion for the lord Jesus
Christ , let it be so today.

Are
you a mad man, a mad women for Jesus?, Are you living what seems and
odd , separated , consecrated life for our lord?

A
deep, gross darkness has fallen on this apostate world, it will get
darker, but you 'oh man men and women, you will be that light on a
hill, in the darkness let the lord shine through you and show mankind
the truth, sound doctrine, repentance and restoration.

I
pray you grasp this message, it may see you through the hard days
around the corner, the lord is still, and always will be, our
secret hiding place, our refuge from the storm, our fortress and in
Him alone we must trust. amen

I
end with JN ch 16 it is fitting and the truth.

Joh
16:1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be
offended.

Joh
16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues:
yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he
doeth God service.

Joh
16:3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not
known the Father, nor me.

Joh
16:4 But these things have I told you, that
when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them.
And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was
with you.

Joh
16:5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh
me, Whither goest thou?

Joh
16:6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath
filled your heart.

Joh
16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for
you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not
come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

Joh
16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment:

Joh
16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;

Joh
16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no
more;

Joh
16:11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Joh
16:12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear
them now.

Joh
16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth,
is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he
will shew you things to come.

Joh
16:14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and
shall shew it unto you.

Joh
16:15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I,
that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Joh
16:16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little
while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

Joh
16:17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this
that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and
again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the
Father?

Joh
16:18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little
while? we cannot tell what he saith.

Joh
16:19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said
unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little
while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye
shall see me?

Joh
16:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye
shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be
sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

Joh
16:21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour
is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she
remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the
world.

Joh
16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again,
and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

Joh
16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will
give it you.
